The story revolves around Igor, a wealthy businessman who found a stray dog on the road and decided to take it home. This act led him to a series of actions that eventually changed his life. He started to help animals, not just dogs, and ended up taking in many animals, including bunnies, flying squirrels, marsupial possums, and guinea pigs. He also adopted many dogs that were in need of a home.
Igor's actions were driven by a series of events. He was heading to a meeting when he found a stray dog and took it home. This dog, named Mrs. Jinkins, was 15 or 16 years old. Igor's life took a turn when he read a post on Facebook about the killing of stray dogs in Sochi for the Olympics. This led him to drive 932 miles to Sochi, where he brought back 17 dogs. He continued to bring dogs home and eventually left his business to help animals.
Igor's actions were not without controversy. He was warned by the authorities not to go to Sochi because his actions discredited the Russian Federation. Despite this, he continued to bring dogs home and eventually built a shelter. He also faced criticism from people who thought he was doing things wrong, but he continued to do what he believed was right.
Igor's life is now centered around his dogs. He has 46 dogs and three houses for them. He spends his time walking his dogs, feeding them, and taking care of them.
